It says that there are some brightness settings for the clock. Is one of them completely off?

Hi, brightness of the display for this Sony Clock Radio has 4 settings - High (default), Middle, Low and Off. Hope this helps. -Ely

You can't adjust the brightness of the clock, at least I haven't seen a way. With one setting for brightness, that's a small price to pay for the quality of the Bluetooth capabilities, it's why I bought this clock in the first place.

Mine has 3 LEDs per side and a major difference between hi and low in nightlight mode. Yours could be defective.

The lighting on the LED numbers can be dimmed. It sounds like this could be happening. Have you tried hitting the "snooze" button? That will dim the numbers each time you press it until you can't see it anymore. Press it again and it should light up bright. Hopefully that helps!

You can turn off the LED in the logo near the bottom, but the ones near the scroll wheel are always on, it's a listing of the current DPS setting.

If you can't see the time and date then its definitely broken. My unit is bright enough to clearly display the time & date, even during daylight hours. There is only one level of "brightness"(the default).

The display has 4 settings (3 light levels) that I call: FULL ON, 2/3, 1/3, OFF. The lowest level works OK for me.

I don't think so. I didn't notice anywhere in the manual when I went through it that mentioned anything about adjusting display brightness.

I don't think it's an atomic clock by any means but my power went out one day and the clock came back on with the correct time. But I believe that I'm gonna have to be adjusting it during during the seasonal time changes. And btw, I tried emailing the company about the dim feature that doesn't seem to work and the email they provided doesn't work. Don't know what's up there. Very unprofessional.

My westclock has a small greenish light about the size of a dime behind the nine. Unless it is right next to me, I can not see what time it is. I had to move it next to the bed.

Yes. Display is dimmable to off. Orange color is very nice. Not disturbing to eyes. Clock however doesn't keep good time, unless u sync to it with phone very week or so. Hope this helps.

Mine does the same (and judging from review so do everyone elses). I believe this is the 730nm LEDm which is just outside of the visible spectrum, so it is mostly likely on and working, you just can't see it.

yes. there is a button on upper right corner to adjust brightness and one setting is off.

If the light are out it is pretty clear. If I am playing music I never see the time unless I hit display on the remote. Hope this helps.

Sorry, but I have no idea. I bought this online, paid to have it installed, and hated it!!! (no default clock function - idiotic dancing display default instead!). So I had it removed and sold it for an expensive loss....

I believe the question refers to the digital time not being backlit. This is an issue I also have with this unit. Very hard to read the time. In fact, any of the info on the screen is hard to read!

No not 100% The IMAGE is ok but the BRIGHTNESS step control on the keyboard will not work right.
